that Ross Griffith was taken from

editor went to Athens, end that
night his sister found the negro in
her room. After desperate fight,
in which the girl was nearly killed,
and from which she may yet die.
the negro was put to flight, and
when arrested was at home in bed,
where he feined his innocence. He
was taken out, rope placed around
his neck, and but for the interven-
ton of cooler heads would have been
hanged right there. When the de:
mand was made to the sheriff, there
were fully 5000 people in sight. Ex
Hogs, sheep and cattle are some
